Five were captured the first day; seven, including myself, on the next day, which was Sunday. The sufferings endured even in this brief interval from hunger, labor and suspense were indescribable. Andrews and two companions were taken on Monday; six more were captured near the close of the week, having, however, gone no further than had done the first day. This left only two of the whole party at large, who, by getting boat and drifting down the Tennessee, got virtue.iy within the Union lines, but then go- ing boldly forward in the daytime Were arrested by band of Confederate guer- rillas and brought back some two weeks after leaving the train. This completed the capture of the whole party, and to this terrible pass had our hopeful enterprise resolved itself! We had been told that to fall into the enemy's power was inevita- ble death, and we had no reason to doubt it. Nothing in our treatment was of such
 nature as to inspire us with hope. We
 were chained and tied in barbarous fash ion, and confined in the most loathsome
 dungeons, dark, filthy, and often under
 ground, in Dalton, Marietta and else
 where. Our food was of the coarest and
 most scanty character. We were assured
 everywhere that we would soon be hung

Gradually the whole were assembled at Chattanooga, where our confinement eliminated in unimag- inable horrors. was the first one taken there, having been captured in Lafayette, Ga., twenty-five miles away, the second day out! will describe somewhat min l utely my entrance into that terrible place, which may serve as 8 specimen of other prisons we endured in the south.

"Dinner Giving, as a Profession.


 Among the many occupations invented by impecunious women as means of support, probably the most original is that of wo- man of 30, who had been for several years at the head of her fathers luxurious establish ment, and learned through experience the art of entertaining his many friends at dinner. Left suddenly an orphan, and without a cent to call her own, she began to cast about in her mind for some means of earning her own living. She was not much of musician, and she didn't have either knack or desire to teach what languages she knew. She couldn't write or paint, and, in fact, she found it diff ficult to find within herself any knowledge sufficiently exact to be worth money enough to support her. eff only knew ono thing thoroughly" she cried; 'sbut the only thing I know is how to give dinner parties. Iknow that exactly and completely, but the question is how to get dinners, not how to give them" :" Thinking the matter over in every light Q sudden inspiration came to her; there were numbers of people who could give dinners, but didn't know how to and she might teach them She told her idea to her friends and they encouraged her by employing her on such occasions, and relieved themselves of infinite care and worry thereby.
 Her method was this: She went to the in- tending dinner giver the day the invitations were issued and discussed ways and means On the day of the dinner she ordered all the flowers, favors and dinner cards, arranged them herself, got the dining table into proper condition, saw that all the changes of plates and silver were ready, and, like major gen. oral, stood and gave her orders until dessert

was served, upon which she drew sigh of relief, put on her gloves and slipped away. Soon her patronage increased when the peo- pie who employed her found what clever and original ideas she had and how entirely she lifted all care and responsibility from their shoulders. She made business of getting all the latest ideas from the florists, the ca terers, the china shops and the restaurants, and applied them while they were new, and after she became interested in the work be- gan to develop all sorts of original inspira- tions, which were popular and effective. She also made point of hunting up clever little verses and quotations for dinner cards, and wrote them out herself upon cards that she got from various artist friends who had dined sumptuously at her own table in more pros porous days and were willing to be obliging now. She has now secured a clientele who keep her occupied all through the season, and she manages to live comfortably on the pro ceeds of her work, for naturally commissions on all the things she recommends come into her hands, and this, added to her other earn ings, makes sum sufficient for her needs New York World.

Wash the Dishcloth.

Now that diseases are known to be caused by germs, one is on the lookout for death in almost anything. Even dishcloth may gen. crate tho germs that cause sickness and death. If it is black and stiff, and sour, throw it into the fire. Keep your dishcloth clean, if you have to eat without tablecloth, do without curtains to your windows and cake for your tea, and have to let your face dry after wash ing it. Let the weeds grow in your garden, let the holes in the heels of your husbands or children's hose go undarned, let the shoes go without backing for Sunday, if necessary, but do not neglect to wash the dishcloth.
 A tidy housekeeper writes: ''I have smelled a whole house full of typhoid fever in one dishcloth I had some neighbors once clever, good sort of folks. One autumn four of them were taken sick with the typhoid fever. The doctor ordered the vinegar bar rels whitewashed, and threw about forty cents' worth of carbolic acid into the swill pail department. I went into the kitchen and made gruel I needed dishcloth, looked around for one, and found several. And such rags! I burned them all, and called the daughter to get me dishcloth. She looked around on the table. Why, said she, there were about dozen here this morning She looked in the wood box, on the mantel- piece, and felt in the cupboard. 'Well,' l said, T saw some old, black, rotten rags lying around, and burned them, for there is death in such dishcloths, and you must never use such again. I took turns in nursing that family for weeks, and I believe those dirty dishcloths were the cause of all that hard work. Cor. Good Housekeeping.

CHAPTER XIV.

THE OLD NEGRO JAIL AT CHATTANOOGA.
 The sufferings of northern prisoners in the south constitutes probably the most terrible chapter in the history of the war. Attempts to soften the fearful story have met with slight success. The lot of the prisoner of war is always deplorable, as accommodations are scanty and the hard ships of camp life greatly aggravated. But the Union prisoners in the south suffered more than is usual ill military prisons. The southern states were slender1y supplied with means for the care of bodies of troops numbered by thousands; the northern armies were pressing severely and tightening the blockade by sea and land with the express design of depriving them of necessaries for prosecuting the war, and ill case of scarcity it was natural that northern prisoners would first suffer. But to this was added terribly bitter feeling, which sometimes found delight in gratuitously embittering the prisoners lot. The hor- TOTS of Andersonville cannot soon be palliated or forgotten.
 s But the sufferings of ordinary prisoners was far exceeded in the case of the An drews raiders. Our leader had been trusted by the enemy and had betrayed them. We had inflicted an amount of fright altogether disproportionat to our numbers, and we were pow believed to be beyond the protectfd1 of the laws of war,

The jailer advanced to the middle of the room, and kneeling down, took a large key from his pocket and applying it to hole in the floor gave it a turn and then with great effort raised a ponderous trap door right at my feet A rush of hot air, and stifling stench as from the mouth of the pit, smote me in the face and in- voluntarily recoiled backward; but the
 bayonets of the guard were behind and there was no escape. The ladder was then thrust down, and, long as it was, it no more than penetrated the great depth. The wretches whose voices I could hear confusedly murmuring below were ordered to stand from under, and was compelled to descend into what seemed more like the internal regions than any place on earth
 It was hard to find the steps of the ladder for the candle of the jailer gave almost no light, and I had on handcuffs; but went down, feeling for each step, to a
 depth of some thirteen feet stepped off
 the ladder, treading on human beings I
 could not discern, and wedged in as best might. Then the ladder was slowly drawn up, and in moment more the trap fell

The Careless Nurse.

Few children escape certain unfortunate consequences of their incessant activity. The child who has never been cut, bruised or burned has probably not led the happiest nor most healthful life. The pliable bones, the highly vitalized tissues, enable the little ones to withstand an astonishing amount of yio- fence. On two occasions has the writer seen picked from the bricks, where it had fallen from the third story of the fronting house, a soft, plump, round baby, as bruisable appar- ently as ripe peach, yet showing no symp- tom nor sign of serious injury. On the other hand, careless nurse swings the little one by its wrist or thoughtlessly twists its arm in putting on or taking off too tight garment, and there is a sprained joint or broken bone. Edward Martin, M. D., in Babyhood.

Care of SiIyerWare.

To know how to take care of silver is a very important thing when one has any sill yer to take care of. A good deal of valuable ware is reduced to condition where it is fit only to be melted by improper cleaning and careless handling. Silver articles, when not in use, should be kept in prepared cotton flannel bags to protect them from the sul- phuretted hydrogen of furnace and illumi- hating gas. They should be kept in dry place, and if likely to remain @ long time the silver should be perfectly clean and the bags closely wrapped in stout paper. For daily care of silver it is best to use hot water, castillo soap and stiff brush and channels leather. In using plate powder to restore the brilliancy one should always go to reli- able silversmith for good article, as much of the powder indiscriminately sold is no better than fine saw or a lot of quartz sand to wear off the surface of metal. Gliding ought to be rubbed as little as possible and silver etched, decorated with colored alloys or oxidized, can be kept in condition by rub ping with damp linen cloth with a very little plate powder.-Chicago Herald.
